So\, the ugly little moster actually did show up waving that four colored flag; and I wonder who let them in the door?

Out of generosity\, I will refrain from saying

I TOLD YOU SO!

Man\, do I have to tell you guys everything?

http​://www.networkworld.com/news/2000/0403msunix.html

Microsoft are shipping a Unix integration/co-existence kit\, and part of the package is ActivePerl 5.6. Cost for the package is $149 (it includes commercial implementations of NIS\, NFS\, and 60 utilities like grep\, ls\, ps\, etc.)

Woo\, way to go Perl. Sneaking into all those hard-to-reach Billborgian crevices.
